[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello everyone. What should have been a weeks holiday taking shots of glorious sunny days has been a washout, rain every day. Confined to my studio, the kitchen, again. I have been experimenting with simple two colour macro shots. This was taken using a ring flash.

P.P. Bit of sharpness added with USM 136% 2.6 pixel radius. Saturation +30% Reduce and Frame. Thanks for looking.

P.S. The workshop is my photographic studio :~)

Regards Phil.

Hello Philip,
A fantastic work with excellent colors and detail.
Well done.
Eva

Beautiful! Lovely detail and light, excellent deep background and rich saturation through this shot.
Composition works well too, although I wonder how it would have looked just a little more diagonally placed, and with the point-of-origin of the ear of grain being in the lower left corner?
Lovely work

When we talk about a simple subject... Hard to be more simple! It please me a lot! I enjoy the color, the sharpness! I have a few of that exact color that i mix with another kind in the corner of my hall... Black paper too and i never make it... Shame on me! :) Heumm... I beleieve... I do so many things lol!
There is some variation in the detail of the black who make it good... Probably a totally black would be some... agressive for the eyes?
Very nice!

Hi Philip,

Great macro shot with excellent detail, it's amazing what you can do when the weather is bad. Your studio looks just like mine :o)

Best regards,
Paul.

Good morning Phil

Well your studio looks about as high tech as mine my friend but it just goes to show we dont need to spend a fortune on equipment to come up with superb shots like the one you have here.

Excellent work

TFS regards Helen

It's a perfect close-up shot indeed. Wonderful point of view and DOF... The light, the clarity and the sharpness are also wonderful...
The contrast between the green and black is great...

Hi Philip,
What a stunning image, I love the simple composition, the vibrant green over black.
At what stage did you sharpen, before or after resizing for posting? I rarely use more than .5 pixel @ 120%, otherwise I seem to get grainy results.
Regards,
peter.

I'm sure you're a good chef, you take fine pictures. thanks
wish you all the best and good-luck to your favorite football team...

cal

Hello Phil,
A very inventive photographic studio. I like the idea of the clips to hold the stems upright.
I love this minimalistic compo with such light and detail. The grass seems to be bejewelled.
Good job!
